Mountains, vineyards, beaches — what’s not to love about the Golden State? If you are moving to California for the first time or moving to an unfamiliar part of the state, be sure to research your future destination so you know just want to expect.
Here are some areas to research when moving to or within California:
Cost of living: Whether or not you are moving for employment or a change in careers, the cost of living in any given state determines several decisions in a move, especially where you choose to live. Overall, the cost of living in California is about 50% higher than the national average.
Weather and natural disasters: May, June, and October tend to be the most comfortable months of the year for the California Climate. Wildfires are common from July-November, so be aware of possible travel interruptions or lower air quality during these months.
Schools and universities: California is known for some highly-rated schools, such as Stanford, the University of California, and the California Institute of Technology. If you’re moving with a family with school-aged children, some of the best school districts in the state are located outside of San Diego and Los Angeles, according to Niche.com.
Since 1949, our family-owned company has served the state of California with services including:
Local & long distance moves

Gun safes, antiques, instruments, and more.
Short term and long term storage options
Over the last several decades, our certified California movers have helped hundreds of people during the moving process from residential moves to commercial moves.
While we favor our hometown of Napa Valley, California’s entire state is home to various experiences and places to explore. You’re probably familiar with iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco or amusement parts like Disneyland and Universal Studios. But, there is so much more to the diverse, Pacific-coast state than these popular tourist attractions.
When living in California, consider taking time to explore some of the hidden gems of the state, such as:
Carmel by-the-Sea: This one-square-mile village is packed with restaurants, shopping, and hotels. It’s a perfect place to retreat for a day or weekend getaway with wine tasting, spas, and a variety of activities you can partake in.
SkyTrail: Get a birds-eye view of California scenery with this California experience. Take a trip through the treetops in a gondola for a laid-back adventure located in Klamath.
San Luis Obispo (SLO): This city is one of California’s oldest European towns, dating 1772. SLO includes several historic districts and over 180 historic buildings to explore.
Winchester Mystery House: A 24,000 square-foot mansion in San Jose, which belonged to Sarah Lockwood Pardee Winchester, the widow of William Winchester of the Winchester® Repeating Arms Company, from 1886-1992.
